EXAMS!!! EXAMS!!!

edited March 27 in Work & Study
Exam season is nearly upon us, and I thought that since there are a wide variety of ages on here, those who are doing public exams might be able to benefit from those of us who've already done them. What I propose, therefore is for anyone who's interested to post their subjects/areas of expertise, and if they're willing to help, how to contact them.

Personally, I did A-Levels in;
Maths,
Physics,
Geography
[General Studies]
I will answer questions on them if necessary, but my subject is Geography, and that's (a) what I'm doing for degree, (b) what I like best, (c) the one I know best, and (d) the one I've got the best resources for...

Please, let's all see if we can help each other?

*Now, if anyone knows my exams, then...*

    The only expertise i have is Maths, and aircraft technology, but i can't see anybody needing that so i'll just sit here quietly and watch the tumbleweed roll past my screen.......................................................................................................
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I did A-levels in English/Biology/Maths/Chemistry ... wouldn't really ask about the Maths and Chemistry though even though I passed First Year Uni Maths.

    I now do English and European History for my degree so will do my best to help if anyone has any questions. Not sure how good I am at anything though.

    Any A-level English People, my texts were:
    The Wife of Bath,
    A Room with a Veiw,
    Hamlet,
    and Much Ado...
    ...any questions, i'll take my best shot at.
    Also geography, (especially human) and psychology.
    But my main advice to anyone is to have confidence in your own ability... a friend of mine who I helped out in psychology managed to pull herself up from an E in the mocks to an A in the real thing. So you can do it. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    To Buglove..English was really good, we got plenty of time to do the books in detail and we put a play on. The language part is a bit of a buggar but doing combined means you get to do creative writing and essays on random questions like "is marriage outdated"?

    Law..well the first year we did the English Legal System which could be quite dry, the second year was criminal law which was mch more interesting (and you get to say to people "today I am doing murder" <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> ). There are quite a lot of facts to learn but it is very satisfying.

    Hope that helps.

    Have you got a copy of the syllabus? I'm sure you know more than you think you do. Remember to take time out once in a while. btw which paper have you gone in for? Foundation, Higher? <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    i got a copy of the chem syllabus but not physics except in the revision guide. Im doing higher for all of em cos it's a dual award. just so stressed that my brain seems like a sift with a few additional holes! exam leave starts on friday next week *cries* and we havent even finished the syllabus yet!!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Ask your teacher for a copy of the syllabus and a couple of past exam papers. Keep your notes really clear and compact and learn the key facts first, then bulk them out.
    Take a look at our revision guide

    plus how to cope with the exams

    Remember to take some time out for yourself too.
    Good Luck
